New York, NY, Feb. 10, 2021 –Adweek, the leading source of news and insights covering marketing, media and technology, announced today the extension of its Mediaweek franchise as the quintessential summit for ad buyers and sellers to be held virtually April 14-16.
The summit is being launched with supporting partnership from the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), which represents U.S. and international marketers that collectively account for more than $400 billion in marketing and advertising annually, and the 4A’s, the advertising and marketing industry organization that promotes, advances and defends the interests of its 600+ member agencies, which help direct more than 85% of total U.S. advertising spend. Both the ANA and the 4A’s are on the governing group of the Partnership for Responsible Addressable Media (PRAM), an industry-wide initiative to advance and protect critical functionalities such as customization and analytics for digital media and advertising, while safeguarding privacy and improving the consumer experience.
An outgrowth of Adweek’s positioning as the touchstone of the advertising and marketing space, the Mediaweek summit invites rising ad tech and mar tech professionals to learn best practices from the industry’s leading brand marketers and ad buyers, along with insights into the challenges and opportunities that come with building a 21st-century media and marketing strategy.
Like Adweek’s widely popular Brandweek summit, now in its fourth year, Mediaweek will be a one-of-a-kind event, assembling publishers, marketers, agencies and platforms in a unique setting to encourage purposeful conversation and mutually beneficial interactions via workshops, intimate conversations and networking.
Various pass options are available and include options to access Main Stage sessions, Masterclasses, networking opportunities, on demand content and more. More information can be found here.
